Controlling brightness with second button Fibaro Dimmer 2

Third party integrations Node-RED
1

I’m using several Fibaro dimmers 2 in my home. One of the properties of these dimmers is that you can activate scene’s with the second button. For example it’s send event.scene_id: 21 (just once) for holding the second and event.scene_id: 22 for releasing the second button.

Now I would like to create a flow that once the scene_id: 21 is received the brigthness of another zwave dimmer (without buttons attached), or the volume of my sonos, is set in steps until scene_id: 22 is received.

I think I should do something with an while loop, but I can’t figure it out. Can please someone help me with this?

Hello Björn_Timmer, I do not have Fibaro switches, but I did a little tutorial for Xiaomi switches, maybe that works for you with the corresponding changes … Look here…

Hi VolkerKa,

This is just simple switching on and off the lights, I already created this in node-red. I’m trying to figure out how to dim my lights.

edit: the code is actually increasing the brightness but should be easy enough to swap around.
